Sleeping In

This soundcloud page is the result of a series of tense negotiations between the bands Mr. Jones and His Visions of Pearl and SpaceRobots from Space.  The two aforementioned parties have agreed to repost, "songs" that they like, to this page.  If you would like to like or repost any of their songs please check them out at https://soundcloud.com/mrjonesandhisvisionsofpearl (for Mister J) and https://soundcloud.com/spacerobots-douter-space.  Thanks!

Hey, Thanks for checking out my page.  December 2011, I was given, kind of randomly,  a ukulele, and it was easily the best gift I've ever received.  I've been writing songs (and poorly playing guitar and ukulele) ever since then...they get recorded on my ipod, often sitting in my car so I don't wake up my roommates...so there are no delusions of grandeur...its just the process of making them and getting to be creative that I like so much.  I'm currently looking for creative people in Portland, or even the various internets, to make music with.  Send me a message if you're interested.  Thanks for stopping by!  And you know, if you're in the market for a mobile recording studio, I think the acoustics in a '94 Accord aren't bad...I mean it's not Abbey Road but still...not bad.


What The Critics are Saying about Mr. Jones and His Visions of Pearl:

"Breath-taking." Oxygen magazine.

"It's like an imagined collaboration of what Kafka and Modigliani would have created had they been musicians in the 21st century. So refreshingly unpretentious." Pitchfork

"A ragged howl unleashed deep from America's secret soul reminding us that like Vader at the end of Jedi, there is still some good left in our collective heart." Chewbacca

"Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them."  Immanuel Kant after hearing Mr. Jones and His Visions of Pearl's SoundCloud.

ANALOG GROOVES - PSYCHEDELIC ELECTRO - GARAGE DISCO

Listening to The Incredible Stacks makes you wonder; How can three guys extemporizing on such vintage sixties and seventies equipment sound so modern and unconventional, so catchy and danceable!?

There‘s nothing extraneous. Just the jagged interplay of a chukka-chukka guitar, a screaming organ, bumping bass, and stuttering, thundering drums. The live set has a structure more similar to what a Dance DJ would do than to that of a Rock band - the beat just goes on and on. It‘s all about rhythm, dancing, irresistible grooves, catchy riffs and musical tension. Sometimes you would swear a dance record is on. But it‘s still them. Completely analog. No samples, no laptops, no sequencers.
